"The eXplorist 350H was designed to meet the hunter's requirements
with tools and features that will assist them whether it's pre-season
scouting or the hunt itself," said Warren Hewerdine, senior director
of marketing for Magellan. "Magellan is committed to serving the
hunting community with high-quality, dependable outdoor GPS devices
that bring together the best-in-class content, features, and ease of
use."
Preloaded on the Magellan eXplorist 350H is a custom detailed base
map containing features needed by the hunter including GMU boundaries
for the contiguous 48 U.S. states and for Alaska, and a 1:100k
contour layer. This unique map also includes water features, urban
and rural land use and a complete road network for the U.S., Canada,
Western Europe, Australia, and major roads throughout the rest of the
world.

Included with the Magellan eXplorist 350H is a one-year subscription
to Digital Globe satellite imagery that gives hunters the ability to
"virtually scout" a future hunt location from the comfort of their
home by giving the hunter a satellite view of the area they plan to
hunt. Hunters can quickly identify areas of interest such as game
funnels, potential feeding areas, and suitable glassing locations.

The areas of interest can be marked and waypoints loaded into the
eXplorist 350H, ready for the field along with an area of Digital
Globe satellite imagery.

Hunting-specific waypoints that can be used to mark animal tracks,
rub marks, water and food sources while in the field are readily
accessible on the Magellan eXplorist 350H and avoid the need to type
names. Points marked in the field can be uploaded back into
Magellan's VantagePoint software application on a computer allowing
any hunter, over time, to build up their own hunting specific
database over time. In addition, the trail camera waypoint-marking
feature makes it easy for hunters to mark the locations of each
camera they place for monitoring their favorite hunting locations and
then navigate back to them when needed.

When user-activated, the geofence feature of the Magellan eXplorist
350H will automatically alert the hunter when they are approaching
any GMU boundary to ensure that the hunter stays within the area that
they are permitted to hunt.

For maximum ease of use, the new Magellan eXplorist 350H comes with a
totally redesigned user interface that offers a completely different
way for the hunter to easily access the hunting specific features.

Magellan's eXplorist 350H is a lightweight, rugged, waterproof
(IPX-7), handheld GPS receiver with a 2.2-inch color screen, and
sports a camouflaged-colored exterior. Targeted availability is late
Q2 of 2013 at $229.99 (MSRP).

The new eXplorist 350H will be on display in Magellan's booth #3857
at the SHOT Show, Sands Expo & Convention Center.

Previously announced in the fall of 2012, Magellan also offers the
eXplorist 310 and eXplorist 510 Hunter Editions
(http://www.magellangps.com/Magellan-eXplorist-510-Hunter-Edition)
